Data Processing System (DPS) software with experimental design, statistical analysis and data mining developed for use in entomological research

Abstract

A comprehensive but simple-to-use software package called DPS (Data Processing System) has been developed to execute a range of standard numerical analyses and operations used in experimental design, statistics and data mining. This program runs on standard Windows computers. Many of the functions are specific to entomological and other biological research and are not found in standard statistical software. This paper presents applications of DPS to experimental design, statistical analysis and data mining in entomology. © 2012 The Authors Insect Science. © 2012 Institute of Zoology, Chinese Academy of Sciences.
